adidas SL 72 OG "Sand Strata" JR4229

The adidas SL 72 OG “Sand Strata” walks the line between heritage runner and everyday classic. First launched in 1972, the silhouette returns with a refreshed palette that plays on natural tones and retro textures.

A lightweight cotton mesh upper in soft Sand Strata gives that smooth desert sand feel from the start. Preloved Brown suede overlays add structure and contrast, while serrated 3-Stripes keep the identity clear. Cream White on the EVA midsole rounds things out, delivering a smooth base that balances vintage detail with modern ease.

The low-profile build sits close to the ground, just like the original. Beneath, a grippy rubber outsole holds its own on slick pavements. It’s the kind of design that still feels agile, decades later.

Whether worn with joggers or straight-cut jeans, this pair holds its own. Clean lines, tonal layers, and a nod to track history without looking stuck in the past. The SL 72 OG “Sand Strata” isn’t trying too hard, it just gets it right.
